We performed a comparison between Cloudera Distribution for Hadoop and Vertica based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two NoSQL Databases solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The features I find most valuable is that the solution is that it is easy to install and to work with. It starts with the installation and from there on the management is very simple and centralized."
"It has the best proxy, security, and support features compared to open-source products."
"The file system is a valuable feature."
"We had a data warehouse before all the data. We can process a lot more data structures."
"With a cluster available, you can manage the security layer using the shared SDX - it provides flexibility."
"Cloudera is a very manageable solution with good support."
"The solution is stable."
"We're now able to store large volumes of data through Cloudera Distribution for Hadoop. We're able to push large volumes of data to the platform, and that used to be a challenge, especially when storing a terabyte of information. This is the area where Cloudera Distribution for Hadoop improved the organization."
"The solution is quick, has good compression data, and is not expensive."
"I have found the solution to be scalable."
"It has improved my organization's functionality and performance."
"Vertica has a few features that I like. From an architecture standpoint, they have separated compute and storage. So you have low-cost object storage for primary storage and the ability to have several sub-clusters working off the same ObjectStore. So it provides workload isolation."
"For me, It's performance, scalability, low cost, and it's integrated into enterprise and big data environments."
"I appreciate the flexibility offered by Vertica's projections. It allows for modifying the primary projection without altering the tables, which helps to optimize queries without the need to modify the underlying data."
"I like the projection feature, which increases query performance."
"Partition and join back to node are easy and simple for DBAs."
"Cloudera Distribution for Hadoop has a limited feature list and a lot of costs involved."
"Without the big data environment, we cannot store all of this data live. We have billions of records and terabytes of storage to be used. It's not an option actually for us to have a big data environment."
"Cloudera Distribution for Hadoop is not always completely stable in some cases, which can be a concern for big data solutions."
"The security of this solution could be improved. There should also be a way to basically have a blockchain enabled storage with the HDFS."
"The governance aspect of the solution should be improved."
"The procedure for operations could be simplified."
"The Cloudera training has deteriorated significantly."
"The solution does not support multiple languages very well and this means users need to create work-arounds to implement some solutions."
"It would be great if this were a managed service in AWS."
"They could improve on customer service."
"Performance of management of metadata layer (database catalog) needs improvement. We still have to have smaller customers on PostgreSQL; Vertica cannot manage thousands of schemata."
"I believe the installation process could be streamlined."
"The integration of this solution with ODI could be improved."
"We are looking for a cheaper deployment for the solution. Although we did a lot of benchmarks, like Redshift. We tried Redshift, it didn't work. It didn't work out for us as well."
"Fact-to-fact joins on multi-billion record tables perform poorly."
"Documentation has become much better, but can always use some improvement."
